21:11 <sarkyniin> hey

21:11 <sarkyniin> how do I get the bot's nickname?

21:11 <sarkyniin> The Bot class says I can use the "nick" method

21:11 <sarkyniin> but using "bot.nick" says the method doesn't exist

21:15 <dominikh> show code.

21:15 <dominikh> (and the exact exception)

21:18 <apt-get_> so yea

21:18 <apt-get_> is there any easy way to get the bot's nick

21:18 <dominikh> #cinch <dominikh> show code.

21:18 <dominikh> #cinch <dominikh> (and the exact exception)

21:19 <apt-get_> on :action, "pet #{bot.nick}" do |m|

21:19 <apt-get_> bot.action_reply("purr")

21:19 <apt-get_> end

21:19 <apt-get_> bot.rb:35:in `block in <main>': undefined method `nick' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

21:20 <dominikh> that cannot work. that first string gets evaluated before the bot even connected to the network, let alone has a nick.

21:20 <dominikh> (or, due to how you set up your code, even is initialized yet)

21:20 <apt-get_> how do I make it work, then

21:20 <apt-get_> my bot.start is at the end of the file

21:21 <dominikh> 1) stop using "on" handlers and use the plugin API instead 2) look at the lambda example in examples/plugins/ and use that for the pattern.
